Disclaimer: I know the flag looks like shit. I didn’t really try and make a well done, symmetric n**i flag. The entire point is to illustrate the general intent, not to make a symmetric “asshole flag”.

Edit: the sample size isn’t that big yet, but around 20% (19.51% as of this edit) of downvotes is definitely uncannily aligned with the average percentage of far right voters… (I’d show data from the US too, but you guys haven’t yet learned how to count to three in politics… So data is severely lacking.)

    I think you need to take a step away from whatever bullshit you’re engaging with online.

    I had a friend who would became obsessed with knowing everything about the alt-right. He started seeing false dogwhistles. If someone sent him a message with 👌he would assume they’re a Nazi.

    I think Elon is a prick who caters to the right of politics, but I don’t think he’s a Nazi or a fascist. Every time the left becomes too hyperbolic about who is a Nazi, the right uses that as ammunition.

        This is the hyperbole I’m talking about. This is a metaphor. All metaphors break down when you start looking for discrepancies.

        Maybe I don’t see a problem with sitting down at a table with 9 Nazis because they’re friendly with me and I’m curious about why they believe they’re right (and maybe I can use the Socratic method to make them question their beliefs). That doesn’t make me a Nazi.
